I remember when Cavan Biggio was drafted in the 5th round, excited to see the next generation of the Biggio lineage, but sad that his career would be in another uniform.
2024, frankly, wasn’t kind to Cavan. His .197/.314/.303 triple slash on the year led to him bouncing across 4 teams in Toronto, LA, SF, and Atlanta, ultimately, leading to his free agency this off-season.
Don’t get me wrong, Cavan isn’t the blockbuster, grand slam superstar player that forces the Astros window open for longer, nor backfills the potential lost production from a player like Bregman.
